For the third year in a row, a hazy 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee was metamorphosed from grass roots legend into the country

Charlotte Martin 4/27/2004: Dante’s – Portland, OR

Charlotte Martin’s day will come. Her voice is too pure. Her piano playing is too chilling. Her songs are too damn catchy. Charlotte Martin is too good to
be opening a show in one of Portland’s smaller clubs. Her show would fit just as comfortably in front of thousands headlining Carnegie Hall.

Borrowing the term eclectic to describe a David Byrne performance is perhaps clich

Cyro Baptista and his Beat the Donkey take an art form that can easily grow tired from weeks on the road, and continually transform the stage into a lively circus atmosphere each night.

To the delight of her fans in Atlanta, Melissa let her emotions (and a little luck) get the best of her on this Thursday night performance. Her three-hour set rocked, and shook the small theater all night long, proving once again, that she is one of today

Everyone Orchestra 4/01/2004: Aladdin Theatre – Portland, OR

The ever-rotating lineup of the Everyone Orchestra took its philosophy of improvisational-based collaborations with a diverse core of musicians, combined with a focus on social consciousness on both local and global issues for a small road trip through Oregon, and us north westerners are sure glad that they did.

Damien Rice 3/29/2004: The Pageant, St. Louis, MO

Jason Gonulsen May 6, 2004 No Comments

Bursting onto the singer/songwriter scene with his album O, Rice, a native of Ireland, has quickly built a strong following in the United States with his emotional lyrics and steady radio play. And throughout his two-hour performance, you could argue that Rice will be able to stick around and build on his already strong foundation.
